he put it there so he can replace it when it goes bad.

Thanks man! Once I get my tires in, I'll get some better pictures!

Essentially, something to this effect. I wanted it right in the front, where it was easily accessible. The 6AL2 gives me a few different options to adjust, so it's nice to have it handy (or if something goes wrong, I can get to it quickly).

Is that a Forge star f14 wheel I see?

Nice mustang!

[aps63]

Your Mustang is looking great.
What are your wheel sizes and what brand is that?

You're correct! and thanks .

Thanks! The wheels are Forgestar F14's. 18x9's in the front and 18x10's in the rear.

I put the car back down on the ground to roll it over to the lift. I'm switching the rear end over to a 31 spline setup this weekend, so it'll be alot easier. Now, I'm just depressed that I don't have tires for the new wheels yet, I'd love to see it sitting on them...



On another note, I got a good deal on a new dash! The guy who had my car, previously, ran lines inside for his mechanical gauges. Dumb decision, yes. Even more dumb decision, drilling a half dollar sized hole in the dash to run the lines through..... While I've got the old dash out, I'll get some of the wiring cleaned up, mount the computer for my Dakota Digital unit, and take out some un-needed weight :D.



Just a shot of the engine bay, with the pieces mocked up in place. I'm really just down to wiring, running brake lines, and little knick knack stuff...

Hey Josh,

Your project is coming together nicely!!

Great selection of parts on your car. I really love the Fox-bodied Mustangs. While waiting on the completion of my project, I have been honing my driving skills with my endurance racer. There is nothing like taking 3-hour stints in a 450hp, 347ci, TKO Mustang!



Keep up the GREAT JOB!!!

Who's k member did you go with?

[LERM]

I'm excited to see your ride on the 18's... (even though i'd knock an ice cream out of an orphans hands to have the fr500's...)

I'm curious as to how much weight you find inside the dash too... i've been considering putting my car on a diet...and my heater core needs done anyway... seems win win...

Looks like your body/paint guy is dolling up outside the hood too. I like the shaved antenna... or are you going full custom lowride style with a frenched auto-retract?

Thank you! The foxes are alot of fun, I can't wait until this one's done, I'm starting to go crazy...

That car looks like it should be a good amount of fun too!

This one is a UPR setup. I'm very happy with it. There were a couple things that I had to make clearance for but I did a lot of modifications/relocations, so I'd say that the clearance issues were because of me ;)

If you weren't on the other side of the world, I'd be happy to sell you the FR's! On the weight loss, I'm curious too. I found a dash that was in better shape than mine, so this was the perfect time to start taking out unwanted pieces. Haha, the antenna is something that I did a while back on my dad's notchback (which turned into my car about a month ago). It had a new set of fenders and he didn't want an antenna, so we made a patch panel and smoothed it out.

and no lowrider style is happening here .

Damn shes a pretty fox

if I was to do it over again I would have used baer brakes. I snapped a bleeder off my wilwoods because its some hodge podge flair bushing, and called the wildwood tech line and the guy told me I was wrong that the threads for the flair were an M10-1......

Thanks man! Your truck is unbelievable by the way!

lol, that's awesome...

I'm loving every bit of this Baer brake kit. It's been great quality, fitment is great, and it's just damn sexy .

[Josh@Ridetech]

I got the chance last night, to tear the rear end apart. This wasn't in the initial plans but I ran into a couple snags that I thought might need to be addressed (in the end, they didn't). It's too late to turn back now, it's getting a 31 spline setup. Also, it's getting some 3.73's thrown in it :D.

Looks awesome Josh

I love those Baer calipers

What tires are you going with? I'm guessing Falkens?

Thanks! The Baer brake setup is one of my favorite things on the car, everything is great. Falkens are the end goal but I'm just going to have some cheaper tires on the wheels, for the moment.

[Josh@Ridetech]

Just down to some wiring now...
